The Enfit Salem Sump™ PVC Tube (14FR, 48IN) is a specialized, dual-lumen nasogastric (NG) tube designed for effective gastric decompression, irrigation, and short-term feeding. This 14 French tube is 48 inches long and features the ENFit® connection system, designed to reduce the risk of accidental misconnections with other medical lines (like IVs). It is used in hospitals and clinical settings to safely manage stomach contents and protect the gastric lining.
Key Features of the Enfit Salem Sump 14FR
ENFit® Connector: Compliant with ISO 80369-3 standards, providing a secure, safety-focused connection to enteral syringes and feeding pumps.
Dual-Lumen Design: One lumen acts as a main suction/feeding port, while the second lumen (the blue "pigtail") allows continuous airflow. This airflow prevents the tube from sticking to and damaging the stomach wall.
Radiopaque Sentinel Line™: A radiopaque line with Sentinel Eye™ tubing allows for easy verification of tube position using X-ray.
Centimeter Markings: The tube features graduated markings along its length to help clinicians measure and track the depth of insertion.
Durable and Sterile: Made from flexible polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and supplied sterile, designed for patient comfort during short-term use.
Anti-Reflux Valve (Optional): Many versions come with a blue anti-reflux valve that prevents gastric contents from leaking back out of the vent lumen.
